Whitby Abbey

The company was commissioned to provide Specialist Landscape Architectural Services. The Whitby Abbey Headland Project involved a partnership of all principal landowners of the Abbey ruins, open headland and Abbey House complex, as well as a funding package from public and private resources. The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The landscape proposals included the following aspects:

Historical research in connection with the 17th Century gardens and the Cholmley family.

Entrances and the design of the visitor circulation system.

Pond restoration.

Restoration of the formal entrance courts as a fitting context for the museum, which is housed within the shell of the hall which formed the Cholmley family home.
